Dolphins and Drama

The Seaweed Sock is marching on nicely. As it swims with a friendly dolphin (we do too have dolphins in Northern Virginia), you can see that I've done the heel turn and a couple of inches up the leg. This is a really fast knit and I think its because of the stitch pattern. I know what its going to do, I mean its just going back and forth, but I keep going just in case it does something different. I'll probably get back on this today just for an easy, no brainer knit.

Today I attempted to post the second step for the Mystery Stole and its been high drama ever since. Somewhere between my computer and the group's site at Yahoo, the file was getting all messed up. Charts were really tall (kinda like they were silly putty) and missing parts - not good at all. It ended up being uploaded by someone else, who had gotten a good download while I was fighting with it, but I just found out that someone got an entire chart without any symbols. I'm just wondering what else will go wrong with this silly thing. My computer seems bound and determined to take over the whole project and redo it differently. The problem with this is, the computer doesn't knit! I'm going to go find some chocolate, yeah, I know its only 9:15 in the morning. My name is Melanie and I'm an addict...and I don't plan on doing a thing about it.
